Dannie J. Gregoire used the term on September 15, 2004 to directly describe the "automatic download and synchronization" idea that Adam Curry had developed. Gregoire had registered domain names associated with podcasting including podcasting.net (http://www.podcasting.net/). That usage was discovered and reported on by Dave Slusher of the Evil Genius Chronicles [7] (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ipodder-dev/message/41) and Adam Curry [8] (http://cloud2.urj.nl/gems/DSC-2004-09-21.mp3).

Podcasting was developed in part thanks to Adam Curry's original iPodder script and the success it fostered since [2] (http://ipodder.org/history) August, 2004. Dave Winer had added an "enclosure" element to the RSS 2.0 specification, as he explained in 2001[3] (http://www.thetwowayweb.com/payloadsforrss). Userland Software, Winer's company, added the enclosure feature to its blogging software and built-in aggregators.

Bloggers including Harold Gilchrist[4] (http://radio.weblogs.com/0100368/stories/2005/02/19/myContributionToAudiobloggingpodcasting.html) and Curry were early users of the feature. Winer, at Harvard in 2003-2004, helped former National Public Radio talk-show host Christopher Lydon [5] (http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/lydon/) attach audio files to his Harvard weblog. Lydon's full-length interviews, which focused on blogging and coverage of the 2003-2004 U.S. presidental campaigns, helped inspire Curry's iPodder script. (Wikipedia)

Podcast: An mp3 file attached to your blog post as an enclosure.

Here's what I see as necessary for something to be a podcast: 1) Must be a discrete and downloadable media file2) Published in an RSS 2.0 enclosure feed3) Handled automatically on the receiver end, downloaded and moved to where it needs to be and put in the playlists for your playback device

That's it. It's a really freaking simple concept. A downloadable MP3 is not a podcast - it is a necessary but not sufficient component. Source: Dave Slusher, Evil Genius Chronicles
